Lighting
IMHO, 175W MH are OK for low light requiring LPS, but for sps and LPS needing more light, then 250W or more are needed.
One advantage of pendants is that they do not heat up the tank as much.
Have you considered a double ended MH bulb in a pendant - the amount of lumens produced is higher than with a mogul style bulb of the same wattage, and with some of them the color is satisfactory without the use of PC's.
J & L Aquatics has a large section of lighting choices at good prices.
MH gives the most natural and deep penetrating light.
